Names:
PFLP - People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine, supported by Soviet,
Polish People Republic, Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic, Syria
and some other Arabic countries
Baader-Meinhof - German left radical group, supported by Soviet, Polish People

Syria and some other Arabic countries
Army of Arab Lebanon, - founded by the Palestinians in Lebanon
Hizballah - is an umbrella organization of various radical Shi'ite groups and
organizations which adhere to a Khomeinistic ideology. The organization was
established following the 1982 Peace for Galilee War in Lebanon (and an
increased Iranian presence and influence in Lebanon). The Hizballah
organization was established as an organizational body for Shi'ite
fundamentalists, led by religious clerics, who see in the adoption of Iranian
doctrine a solution to the Lebanese political malaise. This included the use of
terror as a means of attaining political objectives
Hamas - (a word meaning courage and bravery) is a radical Islamic organization
which became active in the early stages of the Intifada, operating primarily in
the Gaza Strip but also in the West Bank. The Hamas has played a major role in
violent fundamentalist subversion and radical terrorist operations against both
Israelis and Arabs. In its initial period, the movement was headed primarily by
people identified with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the Territories.
In the course of the Intifada, Hamas gained momentum, expanding its activity
also in the West Bank, to become the dominant Islamic fundamentalist
organization in the Territories. It defined its highest priority as Jihad (Holy
War) for the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of an Islamic
Palestine "from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River".

Terror connected to Palestinians.
1960-08-29
Jordanian prime minister and eleven others killed by bomb in the foreign
ministry building, Amman, Jordan. Two of the bombers fled to safety and eleven

1965-05-25
Three Israeli civilians killed in Al Fatah Palestinian terrorist attack on
Jewish settlement at Ramat Hakovash, Israel.
[ The Birth of Black September Immediately after their ejection from northern
Jordan and before their move to Lebanon, in August and September 1971, the PLO
had met in Damascus to lick its wounds and decide on a course of action. The
recollections of a member of the PFLP command who participated in the meetings,
and the length of time it took to reach a decision, attest to the lack of
agreement on what was needed to keep the flame of resistance alive. Moderate
Khalid Al Hassan, who had acted as de facto foreign affairs spokesman for the
PLO, was firmly opposed to the use of terror tactics. Arguing against him were
Abu Iyad, Abu Jihad, Kamal Adwan, Mi Hassan Salameh (Abu Hassan), George
Habbash of the PFLP and the DFLP representatives. Arafat straddled the fence
but was dead set against any such acts taking place under the name of the PLO
and in fact, Arafat suggested the use of a new name but the final decision to
create the Black September Movement it is reported that Arafat did not vote.
Black September thus came into being. It was a conglomeration of the leading
Palestinian resistance groups, and the PFLP in particular provided it with all
the expertise at its disposal and volunteers.
In Jordan, the PLO stronghold, many of the Fatah fighters and most of the
guerrillas belonging to other groups had moved into the major cities and turned
themselves into unruly armed gangs beyond the control of the local authorities.
King Hussein had a difficult time controlling his Bedouin army, and many
Jordanian politicians called for the reimposition of discipline and the rule of
law to keep the frequent clashes between the guerrillas and his soldiers under
control. In Lebanon something similar was happening. The clashes between
Arafat's men and the Lebanese security forces caused many deaths, government
crises and serious divisions within a country whose political structure, based
as it was on delicate sectarian divisions, could not accommodate too much
stress.
Between mid 1968 and the end of 1969 there were no fewer than five hundred
violent clashes between members of the various Palestinian guerrilla groups and
the Jordanian army and security forces.
Serious incidents included the kidnapping of Arab diplomats and unfriendly
Jordanian journalists, unprovoked attacks on government offices, rape and the
humiliation of army and security officers. The Palestinians, who were legally
entitled to set up road blocks, molested women, levied illegal taxes and
insulted the Jordanian flag in the presence of loyal Jordanians
Immediately after the Arab defeat of 1967 Syria started sending Palestinian
guerrillas into Lebanon to attack Israel. As soon as the PLO came to Lebanon,
the violence that was to destroy the country began.]
